Well...maybe I need to re-listen. But that album was the start of RA's computerized robotic sounding kit (needed,of course). THe age of electronic sounding drums on hard rock albums,perhaps? i just had hopes that they might get a more natural sound on the re-records. The drum mix sounded better on Sparkle Lounge,as I recall. But then,it would make for a very different album,sonically. I'm sure lots of fans wouldn't be too overly happy about that. T
